memorial from the Second Eeformed con

action of the Pittsburg Presbytery, in sus
pending tho seven ministers, and asking for
their reinstatement on confession of error.
Dr. McAfee, of 2ew Tork, objected to the
netltion going to the Committeo on Discip

until tho last minute anatnea anus out en

"Let us have fair play. TVowant peace ancL.
fair treatment; thatis,.if yonnare a fair and

This remark causcd.a sensation.
Dr. McAllister hotly objected-to reflections
cast on the Integrity of the committees, espe
cially that on discipline.
Prof. Wilson objected to tho-use of the.
word "fair" in the connection.
The ma tter was referred and the-commltteo
instructed to report notlaterthan this after

Church of New Tork, of ie same tenor as
that of tho Second, raised another tempest
which was settled to tho same way as the

Business of the AfternoonwSesslon.
Tho afternoon session opened with the
transaction of routine business, not the least
important of which was the furnishing of
cuspidors at tho reporters' table. Evidently

Rev. Dr. Holland, Chancellor of the West

tho Synod an invitation to visit the Univer
sity. Dr. J. W. Sproull asked that Dr. Hol
land be invited to talk) and ho did so, asking
tho delegates to visit and especially inspect
the observatory and the new industrial or

had discretion to lend documents or give
copies of them. It being suggested that he
would be held responsible for the safe
keeping of the documents, he gave notice to
members of the Synod that they need not
apply at the Synod trunk. Hereafter those ,
who want to see noted autographs or papers,"
nr the rnvenant or the nolo Tien with wliieh)
it was signed, must get synodical permission-
to taue a peep into ine arK oi ine covenant
Rev. W. R. .Laird, Clerk of the Pittsburg
Presbytery, arose to read an overture of
peace to "the suspended ministers. Prof.
Wils-on objected unless tho court were to
give permission, as everything on this sub
ject had been referred to committees. This,
he said, would be a virtual reconsideration
of their action.
The Proposition Toward Peace.
The Synod, by a nearly unanimous vote,
decided to hear the paper, and in prefacing
it Rev. Mr. laird said that he felt that he
could enjoy the coming communion better
if this troublous cloud were lifted. He sug
gested thathe matter be considered after
an hour spent in prayer. The proposition
was framed by Rev. J. S. T. Mllllgan,and was
the basis of settlement proposed by the
Judicial Committee of the Pittsburg Presby
tery last December. It read as follows:
First Wc disavow the East End platform as a
bond of union within the Informed Prcsbvterlan
Church, and as other than au explanation of Indi
vidual opinion.
Second We pncape to obev tho existing laws of
this church as to voting at civil elections and hold
ing office, and agrpe to carry them out In the exer
ciw; of otir office.
Third We engage not to propagate contrary
views to the aoove while holding the positions of
ministers of the Reformed Presbj-terian Church.
Drs. McAllister and George agreed with
Prof. Wilson in opposing the consideration
of tho paiier.
Prof. Wilson said it was stealing a march'
on the Pittsburg Presbytery, as it proposed
that the action of that body should not be
sustained.
The matter was finally sent to tho Com
mittee on Discipline.
Tho next thing served smoking hot was a
protest of the Bell Center and Miami United
Congregations of Ulno, against the action
of tue Pittsburg Presbytery on tho East End
platform heresy. It was sent to Join the
other protest in tho maw of the Committeo
of Discipline, and It was in turn followedby
all of its kidney. One from a portion of tho
First Reformed Presbyterian Church
of Philadelphia, thought the sentence of
suspension on tho soyen and characterizing
their fault as a heinous sin, unnecessarily se
vere. It had over 50 namesappended. They
fear that such heroic surgery will disrupt
their beloved Zion. The same view is taken by
over 60 members of tho Second R. P. Church
of Philadelphia. Tho memorialists urge
that if such sentence is carried into effect
that fish be not made of one and flesh of the
other, but that all members holding similar
views be similarly treated, but they hold
that the right of private opinion, so long as
it infracts not tho law of the church, should
be allowed. Tho majority In the Second:
Church sent a counter petition.
Others Wanted on the List.
The memorial of the Pittsburg Presbytery
set forth in full the East End platform, and
added that three others, including Rev. J. C
K. Milligan, Rev. Mr. Carson and Pro Mc
Clurkim, were involved, and asked that they
be included among tho proscribed.
Dr. McAllister opposed including Prof.
McClnrkim, as his name had been stricken
from the roll of the church.
The matter wa6 extensively discussed.
Rev. J. R. Thompson, of Newburg Presby
tery, N. T., opposed the reception of the
paper, as ho said the cases had como under
the adjudication of tho New Tork Presby
tery and Synod had no right to entertain ft"
Others held that the NewTork trouble was
another matter, and among them were Prof.
Wilson and Dr. McAllister, tho latter hold
ing that remissness of any kind in any Pres
bytery is a subject that comes within the do
main of synodical Jurisdiction. Some dele
gates grew hot under the collar over Dr.
McAllister's charge of remissness.
Dr. R, J. George held that the number of
protesting papers received by the Synod on
the subjoct from Presbyteries who claimed
that they were not serious, as they had not
Information to work on, showed to. the con
trary, as If they had not had sufficient in
formation they could not have treated the
subject so elaborately in their protests.
One delegate took advanced ground and
said that tho entertaining of this ques
tion would break down all presbyterial
power and the.consequence. would be disas
trous. Rev. J. S. T. Milligan, of, Kansas Presby
tery, denounced the proposition to take the
matter out of the hands of the Kow York
Presbytery as an outrage, and intimated a
strong opinion that the Presbytery had ex
ceeded its power in suspending
the seven after they had appealed
to the higher court.
NoTUincing of the Matter.
There was no mincing of the matter by Mr.
Hinigan, but ho still agreed that the affair
might go on, as he thought the New York
Presbytery could stand It. Mr.Mllligan Im
pressed the Synod with a belief that the free.
cyclonio air of the Kansas prairies had not
been without effect on his understanding
vigor.
Rev. Dr. Kennedy, pastor of the Fourth-It.
P. congregation of Hew York; defended tho
New Tork Presbvtervwith such vigor that
lie brought down the Synod. He abhored4
tneiiastisna platform, .bnt held that Jiew
York had no certain knowledge that the
characters of the suspended ministers were
as black as was painted. He also held that a
.portion of the sin had been extensively
'chargeable to many members of the church
in times nnst.

The division showed 120 votes in the affirm

The suspended ministers are athand, and.

not better, than their suspenders.

Tohn Hubel, a Punxsutawney miner,;

head, bnt he will recover. The scone of the
attempt was-in the rear ofcthe Eagle Hotel,

wanted to stay In tho stable, but the propri

caused the crowd at tho bar to follow him.

his head J ust above his right ear.
The man was taken to the Allegheny Gen

to find the ball, but do not believe the wound
is fatal. Hubel rallied enough to say that he
was 46 years old and single. He has only
been: in tho country a short time, and is

ITTLECHIIiDEEN IN A CLUBBING' CASE
"Lot mo go or Pll kill both of you."
The words from a woll-dressedyoung man,
and the flourish of a big revolver, caused a
scatterment of the ,people In the Homo
Hotel office about- noon yesterday. The
youneman was struggling with two others q
near the clerk's desk. The two were-
holding on-os best they could, trying to keep
their captive from reacking tho door. The
appearance of the revolver had the effect of
giving them tho whole office to themsolves,
as nobody caredto stay around to see the
threat carried out. The three men strug
gled ovor the office floor for several minutes.
The captive was making vain efforts to bring
his revolver into play, but the others kept
too close forhim to succeed. Finally one of
the men caught him by the arm and suc-ceeded-in-wrenching
the weapon from his
grasp. Scarcely had he done so when then
young fellow reached under nis coat ana
drew a long penknife.
Ugly Wounds-Made TVlth.a Knife.
Both his captors started back at sighi-of .
this, and he took advantage of 'the pause tov
make a lunge at them. They recovered-
themselves, however, soon enough to reach
np and catch the blade before It descended.
As they, tussled about, still holding to the
knife, tho keen blade unk into their palms
to the bone, making ugly wounds and spot
ting the floor with blood. Just at this Junc
ture Detectives Shore and Robinson ran into
tho office, and soon had the prisoner in
hand. He was quickly relieved of his weap
ons and ftnnt nn to Central station.
The man who caused all this disturbances
was Philip Fleming, wantea on a cnarge oi

Itwnjisnnriosedfora time he had gone to

had not left Pittsburg, but was stopping all
the time at the Home Hotel, under tho as
sumed name of Jesse R. Craig, taformation
was made against him before Alderman
Gripp, and the warrant placed in the hands
of Detectives Shore and Robinson. The
young men then went down to the hotel to
await Fleming's arrival and notify the
officers. Fleming soon sauntered in and
word was telephoned to the Inspector's
office for the detectives to come down.
Fleming was suspicious, however, and tho
message nad scarcely been sent when he
started out of the office. Seeing their victim
about to escape the two men pounced on
him with the result stated above. From the
Sresence of the weapons Fleming was evi

CAUGHT IN CUPID'S MESHES.
Two Well-Known Toons 'People of West
Newton Set Parental Authority atNaught
and Elope to Get Harried Through
Pittsburg to Tonngstown.
When tho American youth of one sex is
seized with an affinity for a Sympathetic
young person of the other, and hard-hearted
parents or guardians interpose their author
ity against the fulfillment of that affinity in
matrimony, it frequently happens that Cu
pid runs away with reason and the man
with the girl. And so it happened with
good-looking young Robert Washbaugh and
pretty little Roso Nahar, both of West New
ton, on whose matrimonial aspirations both
the respective families frowned, but
frowned to no purpose.
Robert Washbaugh is the 19-year-old son of
'Squire George Washbaugh, of West Newton,
and Rose Nahar is the daughter of the late
Martin Nahar, for 16 years a
member of the Council of that
thriving town, and a young' lady of only
17. The course of their true love ran
smoothly enough np to the period when
Robert proposed to take unto himself ahelp
mato, but a snag was encountered in the
shape of parental authority, which declared
that the conple were too young to venture
out into the cold, cold world on their own
account. This view was not shared in by
the young people, and they finally decided to
do what has been done since the time of Eve
to elope and go it alone.
The step was taken last night, and the
drizzling rain which descended on them on
emerging from the Baltimore and Ohio
depot abated not their ardor in, the least.
Mr. Washbaugh bustled around with the air(
of an old traveler, with a couple of grips in
his hands, and made a transfer of the joint
oaggage to the Lake Erie station, whence
they departed at 10:45 o'clock for Tonngs
town, where, in all probability, they lost no
time in having the knot tied.
FIVE CENTS ABOUT EIGHT.
A WheeUnggStreet Car Magnate Says Boads
Cant Be Bun for Less Fare.
Captain John M. Sweeney, of Wheeling,
was in the city yesterday for a few hours,
leaving last night for Philadelphia. Captain
Sweeney is the President of the Wheeling
street ear lines, and has given the question
of transportation considerable thought. He
has no doubt at all of the supremacy of
electric power over cable, both for efficiency
of service nnd in point of economy.
"With relation to fares," he said, "no road
can be operated with advantage to the pub
lic or benefit to the proprietors at less than
a Decent rate. Neither do I think that the
public desires to see any reduction in the
price of fares. A road which attempts to
run at 3-cent fares cannot provide equal
facilities for handling traffloas a 5-cent road,
and I believe that the public would rather
pav 5 cents and be iriven first-class servien
than oavS centRand he ntintnd In firnoTnTno'n
nation. The classification of fares depends!!
much on local conditions, bufnowhere has
it been found that an efficient service can be
given for Scents."

Railway will begin operation to-day. Sev
eral trial trips -were made over the road, and
last evening a number of tho members of
the company went over tho entire road in a
special car preparatory to the final opening.
This road passes near all the cemeteries on
the Southside of the city, and, owing to this,
the road was opened tor-day that everything
would be in readiness to carry passengers
on Deooratlon Day.
Tho Birmingham Traction Company sent
two cars over the entire line last evening.
The reports as to the bridge being too har
row proved to be surmises, as the cars made
tho trip without any difficulty. The cars are
being fitted out as rapidly as possible, and
all will be In shape by the last of next week.
The south-bound track has not been con
nected at the bridge, but workmen were
engaged all night making the connections,
which win be completed by to-morrowmorn-ing.
ANOTHER TRUST DISSOLVED.
ThoRubber Combination Works tho Bain
of Two Constituent Companies.
Tmnrroir, N. J., May 28. At a secret meet
ing held in this city last night the Central
Rubber Trust was dissolved by the action of
tho companies composing it. The combina
tion included the principal rubber firms of
the country, but it is charged that a few used
it to their own advantage while others suf
fered. Both the Hamilton and Star Com
panies of Trenton, for whioh receivers were
appointed to-day, are said to have been
among the sufferers.
The liabilities of the Hamilton' Rubber
Company, which went into the hands of a re
ceiver to-day, are $100,000, nearly all in
promissory notes cons tan tlygoing to protest.
Ex-Mayor Frank A. Magown, President of
the Trenton Rubber Company, has been ap
pointed receiver. Oliver O. Bowman, Presi
dent of the Trenton Terra Cotta Works, was

DIDN'T WIN "HIS CASE.
A Suit for Sick Benefits That Is Likely to
Be Appealed.
Andrew Miller versus Knights of Pythias
Lodge No. ISO was a, case on trial before Al
derman Succop last ovening. Miller was
formerly a member of the lodge, and the
suit was an action to obtain sick benefits al
leged to be due tho plaintiff. Miller claimed
Ave weeks' sick benefits, which would
amount to about $25. When tho matter was .
brought up before the lodge it is asserted
that Miller was only awarded two weeks'
benefits, which were refused by him on the
grounds that ho was entitled to five weeks.
Having refused that which was offered him,
tho lodge made no special effort to pay the
benefits, and suit was entered.
Alderman Succop decided the case in favor
of the plaintiff, but only allowed Miller the
two weeks' benefits. The case in all proba-
vuivy win ueuuucuicu.
WILL WORK OUT ITSELF.
No Protest Likely to Be Entered Against the,
Judges Taking Their Seats.
Unless an outside party should question
the legality of the appointment of the new
Judges, no steps to depose them will be
taken at present.' John C. Shoemaker, who
raised the point, is perfectly satisfied "with
the appointments, and, in fact, was one of S.
A. McClung's strongest supporters.
The present outlook is that Judges Ken
nedy, McClung and Porter will take their
seats, and their right to hold them will be
tested when one o their cases is takon to
the Supreme Court on the ground that this
court has no jurisdiction.
HE WAS NOT FORGOTTEN.
One Inmate of the Poor Farm Called Home
to Germany.
Uhlrich Gye, a German forester in hard
luck and dying onbis feet from consumption,
was sent to the city farm a few days ago. Ho
was a well-educated man of about 27 years of
ago. -He only wanted to stayuntil money ar
rived from home.
Yesterday he received a big package of
mail from Germany and some money: One
letter stated that a remittance of $100 would
follow In a few days. He left for New Tork
last night, so he would bo that much nearer

Thought to Be. a Success.
ANOTHER POSTOPFICE STEIKE.
Contracts Are let for the.New Buena Tista
Glass Plant.
MIB0ELLANI0US INDIJ8TBIAL ITEMS
. The co-operative company being organized,
by the striking carpenters of the city is
beginning to take definite shape. Another
meeting was held last night, by those
interested in the concern, and a great many
additional shares were reported subscribed
for. In all, about 300 shares are now taken,,
and others are expected to go to-day.
A strike occurred oil the Government'
building yesterday. The marble cutters
went out, refusing to work alleged prison
work-and the matter will be settled to-day.
t This is the second time a strike has occurred
' there for the same cause.
Secretary Martin, of the Bricklayers'
Union, called at The Dispatch, office yester
day to deny the report that the Builders'
Exchange is not making an effort to bring
men hero from other cities. To prove his
own statement he showed the following ad
vertisement, which appeared in the Chicago
JTewt of Wednesday:
Advertising for Out-of-TownMen.

at Builders' Exchange, Liberty and Ninth streets,
fifth floor, Pittsburg. PITTSBURG' CONTRACT
ORS. Similar advertisements have been inserted
in' Philadelphia, Baltimore and Altoona
papers. An unsuccessful effort was made to
see President Burns, of the Ex6hange, in re
gard to the matter yesterday. The Press
Committee .stated, however, that there was
no reason why the Exchange should not ad
vertise for men if the members desired to
do so. "There are sections, mostly in the
country, where there are hundreds of good
mechanics who are only making $1 75 and $2
a day, and are working ten hours at that,
who will be glad of the chance to come to
Pittsburg," said Mr. Johnston.
"Perhaps $2 'in the country districts is
equivalent to 1J3 hero," was suggested.
''Very true," he replied, "but they are
anxious to come here anyway."

fairly treated by the Pittsburg unions. They
say thev have never employed any but
union people and have now no desire to
antagonize organized labor, but having a
contract on hands 'which they are bound to
finish by a certain date, they are compelled
to uso all means in their power to accom
plish it.
A rumor was circulated yesterday to the
effect that the bosses are endeavoring to
bring about a conference. But as the rumor
came from the strikers' side and all the con
tractors deny it, it is not believed. Presi
dent Barnes said a day or two ago that no
conference would be held unless the men
ask for it.
Two carpenters arrived from Baltimore
yesterdav with the understanding that
everything was all right here, but as soon as
they learned about the strike they left for
home again.
Another Rumor Absolutely Denied.
Officials of Unions 211 and 112 deny the re
port that a number of members protested
1 fcorainst the deposition of Agent Irwin. In
n6 former it Is said the vote was unanimous
for Swartz and in the latter it was divided
for the present candidates.

The journeymen aro firm and very confident
of success. The junior plumbers meet to
day. They have their own organization, and
are giving every possible assistance to tho
Journeymen.
Another report was started yesterday to
tho effect that a large number of glass
houses would close down June Land as a
result large numbers of workmen would
take the places of the' strikers at laborers'
wages, but this is not likely. It Is not
known that any of the local, glass houses
will close before July 1. On the contrary,
tho Sumner Company, of Steubenville. will
start their second furnace next Monday, and
will run mainly on private mold work. They
will start np 12 pots, and as the average cost
is about $55 e'aoh and the firm will only get
one month's work out of them, the trade
must be in good condition.
The Builders' Exchange will meet next
Monday.

tho general manager of the Homestead Steel
Works, is the Inventor. Tho machine was
wholly designed and built in the Homestead
plant. -
Horseshoers' Scale Settled.
The journeymen horsoshoers met last
night and received the reportof acommlttee
that had met the bosses and secured their

THE CMALLEY BRIBERY-CASE.
Will Other Pleas Withdrawn and One of.
Demurrer Entered by the Defense.
New Orleans, May 28. When tho Mc-
Crystal and O'Malloy bribery cases were
called to-day their attorney submitted a
motion for change of venue. The State in
troduced a number of witnesses, including
the leaders of the Committee of Safety,
Messrs. Parkerson, Denegre and Hanston.
They all testified that they believed accused
I could obtain a fair trial. Mr. Parkerson
said: "The fact-that Mr. O'MaUey was walk
ing around the streets of the city, and had
thrown defiance in the face of the com
mittee, was the best evidence that the ac
cused could obtain a fair trial."
Mr. Parkerson admitted having said on
March 11, "Leave O'Malley to our committee
and we will attend to him." Before all the
testimony had been heard Mr. Hcnriques, of
counsel for defense, abandoned the motion
for a change of venue, and asked to have the
case fixed for trial Juno 10, as he desired to
be absent from the city until that date, but
the State's attorney objecting, Mr. Hen
riques then gave notice of withdrawal of the
plea of not guilty by his clients, ana stated
that he would enter a demurrer similar to
that sustained by the court in the case
against Granger, in which the Information
was quashed on the ground that the allega
tions set forth were not sufficiently specific
Tho McCrystal and O'MaUey cases go over
till to-morrow, when the demurrer will be
passed upon.

Wouldn't Stand Any More Debt.
Coraopolls people, by a vote of 33 to 29,
have decided that they would not increase
the borough indebtedness to "fill a hole."
The scant vote is explained on the ground
that many people did not care to go on rec
ord and so stayed away. The objectors to
the enlargement of debt say there will be
time enough when the assessment has been
revised so as to make wholesale lot-holders
pay their share of taxation.

TO BIMDE.
Two Congregations to Be Formed in
Christ M. E. Church.
DEFINITE ACTION OF TRUSTEES.
The East End Will Have One Half, and the
Korthside the Other.
AN EXCELLENT FINANCIAL SHOWING
An amicable spilt In the congregation of
Christ M. E. Church on Penn avenue ishe
outcome of the disastrous conflagration of
May 5, by which tho edifice was nearly do
stroyed. A meeting df the trustees was
held yesterday afternoon, at which definite
action was taben, that will result in two
handsome churches being erected. The
church membership has long been pretty
evenly divided between residents of the
East End and Allegheny, but loyajty to the
location and the church has not only held
tho membership intact during the last 15
years, out there have been largo accessions,
hiaking the church one of the wealthiest in
the two cities, as well as hoUling its position
as the bulwark of Methodism in this end of
the State. There have been but slight differ
ences as to the policy of tho church, and tho
radical action taken is purely a business ar
rangement, suggested by tho magnificent
distances traversed devotionally every Sun
day. Both to Fare Wen Financially.
By this action of the trustees the assets of
the congregation will be equally divided be
tween the Allegheny and East End conting
ents. The assets are quite formidable from
a pecuniarypoint of view. The site occu
pied bv the church has been thesubiectof
real estate Inquiry for a long tlnre. Since the
fire at least 20 offers have been made, rang
ing from $250,000 to $300,000, and it is believed
that something oven- the Iatterflsmre will be
reached. 'Divided, each congregation will
have $160,000 as a building fund nucleus. The
insurance, amounting to $11,000 in round
figures, will be increased bv the sale of the
material, probably reaching nearly $50,000.
Thus each of the congregations will have
over $175,000 to start with. An Allegheny
friend of the churoh has pledged $20,000 ad
ditional, and as otbor large donations are
talked about, a spirit or friendly rivalry
may be looked for In the matter of which
church will be the handsomest.
The name, "Christ M. E. Church," will be
preserved by the addition of the location,
and there will therefore be "Christ M. E.
Church, Allegheny," and "Christ M. E.
Church, East End."
Fewholders Must Tote on It.
As It may take several years to build the
two churches, it is far in the future as to
who will be the respective pastors. At pres
ent the united congregation is worshiping
in the BIJou Theater, and it has not yet been
decided whether there will be an Immediate
split. The plan as adopted yesterday must
be submitted to the vote of thepewholders
and afterward to the next M. E. Conference,
but as there is no other feeling existing than
that nf an amicable nature no opposition is
expected. At tho board meeting yesterday
committees were appointed by Doth sides,
with power to act. Among the Eafct End
members of tho Board is Alexander Bradley,
while the prominent Allegheny gentlemen
are Messrs. C. B. Shea, Joseph Home and C.
C. Scaife.
The respectivesites to be occupied are be
ing canvassed. The Allegheny church will
probably be located not very far from the
West Parks, in order to be at a distance from
the North Avenue M. E. Church, while the
East End church will be doubtless built in
the Nineteenth ward, to preserve a distance
from the Emory M. E. Church.
